The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

【Logically speaking, setting the hunting time at night is a very ignorant behavior. 】

[Because the cover of night is the best cover for the beasts in the mountains.]

[In comparison, humans who rashly enter the mountains are more like prey. ]

[But neither you nor Minamoto no Raikou seemed to be afraid at all. ]

"Ms. Minamoto no Raikou, aren't you afraid?"

Ian asked as he looked at the dark environment in the mountains.

"I'm not afraid."

Minamoto no Raikou confessed his true feelings without any hesitation.

"I am a martial artist, how can I be afraid just because of the temporary darkness?"

"That is a shame for a warrior."

The voice just fell.

Minamoto no Raikou pulled the bowstring to its full length.

Huh.

The arrow flew out from the bow that had not been used for a long time and shot towards somewhere in the forest between the mountains.

The speed was so fast that even the arrow feathers had no time to deflect.

A dull sound.

The arrow penetrated three inches into the wood.

Also nailed to it was a rabbit.

This is a hunting arrow achieved at the moment the rabbit jumps.

No further words needed.

In addition to his excellent swordsmanship, Minamoto no Raikou was also an excellent archer.

【This is not a coincidence.】

[Minamoto no Raikou kept repeating the action just now in this night forest, with a look of concentration, as if the land under her feet was her hunting ground. ]

[She didn't stop until she ran out of arrows.]

[You realize that this is her way of proving herself - using her martial arts to do what she promised you.]

There was a sizzling sound.

A light appeared in the woods.

That was the fire that Minamoto no Raikou started.

Logically speaking, this should be a taboo when hunting in the mountains.

After all, whether it is the bright light or the aroma of roasted food, it is a potential reminder to the beasts lurking in the shadows.

but--

Ian wasn't worried about any danger at all.

Because Minamoto no Raikou cut off the heads of all the prey he had just hunted, and then laid them out on the ground nearby like trophies.

The light shone on their skeletons, engraving the last scene before their death.

Ian was sure that no smart beast would want to come over after seeing this scene.

the other side.

Minamoto no Raikou was skillfully handling the prey after cutting off their heads.

Although she was a woman, there was no fear of such imperfection in her purple eyes.

On the contrary, Minamoto no Yorimitsu seemed to have a unique preference for this method of beheading.

Remove the fur;

disembowel;

Use branches to support it.

After Minamoto no Raikou washed his hands at the riverside, he returned to Ian and took the roasted prey for him.

"Master, without salt, it might taste weird."

"Please forgive me."

【But in fact, it is not. 】

[Although during the entire processing process, Minamoto no Raikou did not add any salt. ]

But she used the surrounding plants in a clever way to complete the seasoning.

This makes it taste pretty good.

[You realize that although Minamoto no Raikou is a warrior, he actually has a virtuous side. ]

"taste good."

Ian is not stingy with his praise.

“By far, the best tasting food I have ever tasted.”

"really?"

Minamoto no Raikou's eyes lit up.

It can be seen that the praise from the great Onmyoji Ian is a great honor for her.

"Then Master, do you think it is..."

"Don't talk about this yet."

Ian stopped Minamoto no Raikou from asking questions - he knew she was still obsessed with becoming his disciple.

But before that, there is one thing that must be confirmed first.

"Please answer a few questions for me first."

"First, why did you find me? I think I have never told anyone where I live."

"That's because your fame has spread throughout Heian-kyō, of course."

Minamoto no Raikou looked directly at Ian and answered.

"I searched for several months and finally had this meeting with my master."

Not a ridiculous answer.

And it also explains why she was so angry.

"Well."

"If that's the case, you must be looking for me for some purpose, right?"

Ian looked at Minamoto no Raikou in front of him.

"I'm curious."

"So state your purpose exactly as it is."

"..."

Minamoto no Raikou was silent for a while and then nodded.

"My purpose is actually very simple, so there is nothing to hide."

"Master——"

The warrior who had been searching for months now looked at the Great Onmyoji.

"Please teach me how to kill a ghost."

110. Master, I want to learn how to kill ghosts! (-word chapter)

【You double-checked that you heard correctly. 】

[The Minamoto no Raikou in front of him did say that he wanted to kill demons. ]

[You are sure this is why she came to see you.]

"Killing ghosts?"

Ian put down the roasted prey in his hand and looked at the graceful female warrior.

“It’s an unheard of idea.”

"This is the first time I've heard someone say in front of me that they want to do this."

"Everyone has their own wishes, right?"

Minamoto no Raikou answered very confidently.

"And my wish is to kill all the ghosts in the world."

"But--"

"Ms. Minamoto no Raikou."

Ian looked up at the stars above his head with a somewhat subtle expression.

"I think you may have some misunderstanding about the identity of Onmyoji."

"It is true that Yin-Yang masters can foresee disasters and calamities, and they can also come into contact with various demons and ghosts."

"But that doesn't mean we know how to kill ghosts."

"So if you want to learn about this, I think it would be better to find someone else."

"Do not."

Minamoto no Raikou shook his head firmly.

"I don't think so at all."

"Your deeds are well-known in Heian-kyō. How could you not know the art of killing demons?"

"It's just a name." Ian smiled.

"Among all those things, has anyone ever really seen me kill a ghost?"

"None, I suppose?"

"..."

Ian pushed Minamoto no Raikou back with one sentence.

Just like what he said.

Although there are many stories circulating in Heian-kyō about the man before him killing demons, they are only "rumors".

No one has ever actually seen this great Yin-Yang master killing ghosts.

Minamoto no Raikou's silence let Ian know that she couldn't refute it.

He stood up and spoke in the moonlight:

"So Miss Minamoto no Raikou, please go back."

"I'm not the one who meets your requirements."

"And thank you for your hospitality tonight."

You left the mountain.

[You walk towards the place where you live under the moon. ]

[You feel a gaze coming from behind you all the time. ]

[You know that Minamoto no Raikou is still following you. ]

"Ms. Minamoto no Raikou."

Ian turned back.
